Description
Poetry from India and Bangladesh by Rabindranath Tagore (1861 - 1941), Nobel Prize winning writer and poet from India and what is now Bangladesh.
Tagore toured widely throughout the world in an effort to bring Eastern culture to the west and vice-versa. This cross-cultural effort reflects the purpose of this book.Â
Additionally, it is of value for youth of Asian Indian background to be familiar with their own rich literary cultural heritage. This collection contains a biography of Tagore, as well as background sections on Kolkota (Calcutta), India and Bangladesh.Â
